Bra tycoon Michelle Mone’s dismal Westminster record has been laid bare by figures showing she hasn’t spoken in the House of Lords in a year.

Tory business czar Baroness Mone has spoken just twice in the upper chamber since being appointed a life peer in August 2015.

The millionaire Ultimo founder last spoke on February 1, last year, when, in support of the Government’s bill on technical and further education, she revealed that there are 28 different components in one bra.

In her maiden speech in March 2016, she quoted from Whitney Houston song The Greatest Love of All.

According to the theyworkforyou.com website, she hasn’t asked a single written question and has only taken part in 37 per cent of votes – described as “average” among peers. She last voted in October last year.

Mone’s press office insisted in a statement that she was “fully committed” to the Lords.

But SNP MP Tommy Sheppard said: "These are pretty shocking statistics. The House of Lords is an affront to democracy.

“It beggars belief that Lady Mone – and the hundreds of other Tory peers who rarely turn up but get their tax-free allowances – will have more say in how the devolution settlement and Scotland’s interests will be protected from Brexit than all of Scotland’s elected MPs. The whole chamber needs to go – and go soon.’’

She was appointed Tory business czar by former prime minister David Cameron for her business expertise. Mone used her first Lords vote to back Tory plans to cut tax credits for working families, but later admitted it was a mistake to back the cuts.

On Monday, it was revealed that Mone had joined the board of advertising tech firm Ve Global.

Peers receive £300 tax free just for turning up each day.

Mone’s press office said she donates her House of Lords allowance to charity.
